[player_tooltip player_id='248320' first='Trinity' last='Turner'] – 5'6 Point Guard (Dr. Phillips / Essence)   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/05/278255731_2032748890240268_5889427534872986764_n.jpeg?w=825" alt="" class="wp-image-426155" width="180" height="223" /></figure>     Turner is dangerous with the ball in her hands. She can do it all, knock down open shots, attack off the dribble, and drop dimes for easy baskets. During the showcase, she consistently pushed the ball in transition and attacked aggressively. She is incredibly talented and confident with the ball in her hands, getting by defenders with ease, making them look like they are moving in slow motion!       [player_tooltip player_id='243886' first='Paris' last='Triplett'] – 6'3 Center (Ocoee HS)   Triplett is one of the top post players in the class of 2024, proving to be an effective finisher in the paint, a solid rebounder and an impactful shot blocker and using her height and length to deter shots at the rim. She moves well for her size and gets her hands on a lot of balls. She stood out in the showcase towering above her opponents and using her size and length to establish herself as one the top interior players.     [player_tooltip player_id='91643' first='Jada' last='Jones'] (McArthur HS / Below The Rim) – 5'5 Guard   Jones is quick, aggressive, and savvy with the ball in her hands. She attacks the rim fearlessly, and does a great job getting by her defender and into the seams of opposing teams defenses. Her quick first step, and crafty ball handling skills, make her a slippery player that is tough to defend and hard to keep out of the paint.     [player_tooltip player_id='217667' first='Kayla' last='Nelms'] – 6'1 Forward (Miami Country Day / Miami Suns)   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/07/FSV6pxrX0AkZ9sG.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-468372" width="223" height="219" /></figure>   Nelms is a walking double-double consistently putting up 10+ points and 10+ rebounds per game. At 6'1, she mainly plays the forward position but has guard like skills. She has excellent touch from 3, and finds the open player, creating easy scoring opportunities for her teammates, leading them to the hoop for easy baskets. Not only is she is consistent in her offensive output, she is also extremely consistent in her effort and energy, which makes her one of the state's most complete players and top prospects.     [player_tooltip player_id='349421' first='Kalia' last='Harrington'] (St. Thomas Aquinas) – 5'8 Guard   Harrington is strong, athletic, and talented. Her body is college ready, and she is equally effective on the defensive end as she is on the offensive end of the court. She is active and naturally talented who has the ability to score in a variety of ways and uses her strength and athleticism to be an effective defender and wreak havoc on opposing guards.     Emely Rodriguez (Horeb Christian) – 6'2 Wing     Rodriguez stood out as one of the showcases top prospects. She is a big guard that is very skilled on the offensive end! She has deep range, is an athletic defender, and uses her length and ballhandling skills to slip by her defenders with ease both in the half court and in transition to get into the paint. She is a natural scorer who fills up the stat sheet, scoring at the rim, knocking down open 3s, and creating scoring opportunities with her open court skills attacking off the bounce.     [player_tooltip player_id='219928' first='Leah' last='Barnes'] (Faith Christian Academy) – 6'1 Wing   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/11/Leah-Barnes-SNP.jpeg?w=647" alt="" class="wp-image-554029" width="131" height="207" /></figure>     Barnes is an athletic and aggressive wing player that can play multiple positions. She has a body of an interior player but has perimeter skills that allow her to attack from the wing and knock down the open shot when left open. She uses her size and strength to rebound well from the perimeter and finish vs contact.
